Barack Obama’s Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings wrote that a boy killing a bully that called him a name is totally understandable because of the gender roles that are taught in our society.
Web site Verum Serum uncovered a 1998 article penned by Jennings in which Jennings claims it’s not “aberrant” for a boy to kill someone who calls him a “faggot” because we teach boys that being called a “faggot” is the worst slight imaginable. Or something.
We need to own up to the fact that our culture teaches boys that being “a man” is the most important thing in life, even if you have to kill someone to prove it. Killing someone who calls you a faggot is not aberrant behavior but merely the most extreme expression of a belief that is beaten (sometimes literally) into boys at an early age in this country: Be a man – don’t be a faggot.
As Suzanne Pharr so eloquently explained in her landmark work Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism, antigay bigotry is inextricably intertwined with the maintenance of “proper” gender roles by which little girls are supposed to be “sugar and spice and everything nice” and boys are supposed to be, well, quite the opposite. When boys take up guns to kill those who torment them with words like “faggot,” we shouldn’t be surprised. They’re just doing what we have taught them to do.
Jennings has come under scrutiny for failing to report when a High School sophomore reported to him that he’d been having sex with a much older man he’d met in a bus station bathroom, and for praising Harry Hay, a figure widely associated with the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).
